Last night, I stopped at Pavillions and walked by the Coinstar machine. Found a 1964-D Roosy and a 1946-S LWC in the rejection bin  What have you found? swcoin.ecrater.com

Cool - I posted in the world coins area, but found a 64 Canadian Nickel, a couple of canadian pennies, two wheats and 1941 Italian 20 centisimos (or something like that). I posted there cause I wasn't sure what the Italian coin was.
I did find two silver rosies about 3 weeks ago also. Love it when I'm in line and hear people cashing in coins.....I'll mull around until they split.

I check every time I go to the grocery and my best finds have been a badly damaged zinc lincoln and a 6 cent piece (nickel and penny glued together).

I have yet to find anything, not even a badly damaged Zincoln! I am beginning to wonder if the bag-boy is a collector. He gives me "the eye" every time I check the machine out.  |

couldn't you power search through posies for silver by just dumping them at the coinstar?

I agree. I would not trust the CoinStar to something like that. Like any vending machine, they sometimes take what it should reject, and reject what it should take. Since I seldom go to the store, I asked my wife to check the machine for me. She went to the store last night and when she got back I asked her about it. "What machine?"  I cannot be mad at her, though. She always watches her normal change for me.  |

Yes, but you would need to find one out of about every two or three rolls to break even on the percentage the coinstar machine takes for counting them. (Yes if you have the right machine you can avoid the charge by selecting a gift certificate, but I don't need that much on a gift certificate. I prefer to have cash so I can spend it where I need to.) |
